How to Grow Fun Jen Chinese Cabbage

These seeds can be sown a variety of times throughout the year due to their short time to maturity. Whenever you sow, try to have the main growing temperature be in the 60-70℉ range; plan on using fertilizer or compost multiple times. Avoid problems by being conscious of the soil moisture level; always keep it moist. Mulch at the time of planting or transplanting to avoid premature bolting, reduce rotting, and improve soil moisture.

This variety has shallow roots and thrives with shallow but frequent irrigations. Where high winds are a concern, mound up soil around the base of the plants to protect the roots. Avoid planting brassicas in the same location more often than every six or seven years. Temperatures below fifty Fahrenheit can cause bolting.

Harvesting Fun Jen Chinese Cabbage

Harvest the leaves when they are fresh and crisp. You can pick individual outer leaves a few at a time, or cut the whole head off a 1/2 inch above the ground.

Culinary Tips

Every part and stage of Pak Choi is edible. Use in salads, stir-fries, sauteed, braised or add to soup.

Tips From Our Gardeners

“I’ve learned that it’s best to direct sow these. The shallow root systems don’t always do well with being disturbed.”
